‘Here's your electricity bill, then': Landlord pays thousands in electricity after IT business owner gets even with him for refusing to pay $400 in HVAC building maintenance

With great power, comes great responsibility, or so they say… well, obviously that quote is lost upon 99 percent of people who actually hold any real power, because oftentimes, with power comes greed. And greed can make you blind to your responsibilities. In this case, OP was an IT business owner, who was renting an office in a fairly nice building, and even though there were a few minor issues here and there, they were fixed, albeit a bit slowly. Then the AC unit that happened to sit above OP's unit in the ceiling began to leak… right into his unit. Now, according to the lease, the building HVAC was covered, but that didn't stop OP's landlord from refusing to reimburse him for the work that he'd had to do to stop the leak.

In fact, his landlord's exact words were, 'Sue me', knowing that the $400 simply wasn't worth OP's time. So, time for petty revenge. OP decided that if he wasn't going to get his money back, he'd make sure it was money well spent. Scroll down to read exactly how OP got back at his landlord.
